German car number plates (Kfz-Kennzeichen) show the place where the car carrying them is registered. Whenever a person changes their main place of residence in
Germany, or buys a new car, they are required to buy new number plates. Number plates can be bought which are valid all year round or between 2 to 11 months within any 12 months. This allows changing between summer and winter cars, such as a
convertible and a
sedan/saloon without having the time and money wasted for de- and re-registering.
As of 2007, buying new number plates normally costs around
€30 and
€10 to
€40 for fees for de-registering the old plates and registering the new ones. If a car is handed over to someone else permanently (e.g. sold), but stays within the same city/region, the number usually stays the same, registration fees however are applied for name change of the official car papers.
